About the Journal & Publisher

Indonesian Health Justice Review is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of health, law, justice, human rights, ethics, governance, and public policy. The journal provides a scholarly platform for theoretical, empirical, comparative, socio-legal, and policy-oriented research examining the legal, institutional, ethical, social, and political dimensions of health and healthcare.

The journal is founded on the premise that health is not solely a medical or clinical concern, but also a fundamental dimension of human dignity, equality, social justice, and human rights. Access to healthcare, distribution of health resources, protection of vulnerable populations, regulation of health institutions, and accountability of public and private actors are therefore central questions of justice. Indonesian Health Justice Review seeks to advance scholarly understanding of these issues through rigorous and interdisciplinary research.

With a particular interest in Indonesia and the Global South, the journal examines how legal systems, health institutions, governments, markets, communities, and international actors shape health outcomes and the equitable distribution of health opportunities and resources. The journal also welcomes comparative and international scholarship that places Indonesian and regional experiences within broader debates on health justice, global health governance, and health equity.

Scholarly and Interdisciplinary Orientation

Indonesian Health Justice Review welcomes contributions from health law, legal studies, public health, bioethics, medical ethics, health policy, political science, sociology, economics, human rights, public administration, development studies, and related disciplines.

The journal particularly encourages scholarship that connects health-related questions with broader issues of law, rights, institutional accountability, inequality, social determinants, governance, and public policy. It values research that goes beyond descriptive accounts and offers meaningful theoretical, empirical, methodological, legal, or policy contributions to international scholarship.

The journal recognizes that health inequalities are frequently produced or reinforced by structural factors, including socioeconomic conditions, geography, gender, disability, discrimination, environmental exposure, institutional arrangements, and unequal access to public resources. Research examining these structural dimensions is therefore particularly relevant to the journal.

Health, Law, and Justice

A central concern of the journal is the relationship between health and legal institutions. The journal welcomes research examining how law regulates healthcare systems and how developments in medicine, biotechnology, public health, and healthcare delivery generate new legal and normative questions.

Relevant scholarship may address patient rights, informed consent, medical liability, health regulation, professional accountability, healthcare contracts, pharmaceutical regulation, reproductive health, end-of-life decision-making, health data governance, and access to healthcare.

Health and Human Rights

The journal approaches health justice through a human rights perspective and welcomes scholarship concerning the right to health, equality and non-discrimination, privacy, bodily autonomy, freedom of expression, reproductive rights, disability rights, children's rights, and the protection of vulnerable populations.

Research may also examine the responsibilities of states, healthcare institutions, corporations, and other actors in protecting and fulfilling health-related rights.

Health Governance and Public Policy

The journal examines how health systems and policies are developed, implemented, regulated, and evaluated. It welcomes research on health governance, public administration, health financing, universal health coverage, health regulation, institutional accountability, transparency, corruption, public health emergencies, and evidence-informed health policymaking.

The journal is particularly interested in scholarship that evaluates whether health policies and institutions effectively promote equitable access, quality of care, accountability, and protection of fundamental rights.

Health Equity and Social Justice

Health justice is understood broadly as the equitable distribution of health opportunities, resources, risks, and protections. The journal therefore encourages research addressing health disparities, socioeconomic inequality, geographic inequality, marginalized populations, gender inequality, disability, discrimination, and barriers to healthcare access.

Studies examining the social determinants of health and the institutional mechanisms that produce or reduce health inequalities are particularly encouraged.

Emerging Issues in Health Justice

The journal welcomes scholarship addressing emerging challenges resulting from technological, environmental, demographic, and social transformations. These include artificial intelligence in healthcare, digital health, health data, biotechnology, genetic technologies, telemedicine, pharmaceutical innovation, climate change, environmental health, pandemics, and global health emergencies.

The journal encourages research that critically evaluates the implications of such developments for justice, human rights, accountability, privacy, equality, and public governance.

International and Comparative Perspective

Although Indonesia is an important geographical and intellectual focus, Indonesian Health Justice Review is not restricted to Indonesian cases. The journal welcomes contributions from scholars worldwide and encourages comparative research involving Southeast Asia, Asia, the Global South, and other national and international contexts.

Comparative and cross-jurisdictional research is particularly encouraged where it generates broader theoretical, legal, empirical, or policy insights into health justice and the governance of health systems.

Academic Contribution

Through rigorous peer review and interdisciplinary scholarly exchange, Indonesian Health Justice Review seeks to contribute to the development of international scholarship on health justice. The journal aims to provide a forum for researchers, legal scholars, health professionals, policymakers, public administrators, human rights advocates, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders concerned with the equitable and accountable governance of health.

The journal is committed to academic integrity, methodological rigor, editorial independence, research ethics, transparency, and responsible scholarly communication. It seeks to promote research that combines theoretical sophistication with empirical relevance and contributes to evidence-informed debates on health policy, legal reform, institutional governance, and social justice.
